...one man from the latter group said angrily, "We are as good as you are!"

As good as they think they are, they weren't a part of the heritage that built and sustained the United States. They should be taking their goodness and change their own country.

It's not right for outsiders to demand entry into the United States so they could plunder the bounty that our own citizens created for themselves.

“It’s not right for outsiders to demand entry into the United States so they could plunder the bounty that our own citizens created for themselves.”

I don’t blame the people that live in those miserable places to want to come here. I know I would do the same thing if I was in their shoes. And I would bet you would do the same, especially when you’re treated as a national treasure when you get here!

No, the invasion problem we have is not the fault of the invaders, it is OUR fault for allowing them to invade and to actually have a welcome mat waiting for them. It is up to us to keep them out, but obviously the powers that be not only are not interested in doing that, they’re against it.

To take it out on the illegals is to focus on the wrong problem. The problem is American politicians, bureaucrats, corporations and regular people who see a benefit for them to let those people in. That’s where the focus ought to be.

This is no different than you leaving spilled sugar and syrup on the counter and floor and blaming the ants for coming into the house.

The unstated, but obvious gist to begin with; is that somehow they are entitled to be placed on the same field as American citizens, which in that vein would mean they think they are better than us (having not contributed one whit, but are entitled to all of America’s promises).

That is the implied meaning of “you’re no better than me”.
